The development of ethnic education and the design of curricula relevant to the cultural identity of communities is a necessity in the Colombian context. This article shows the advances of qualitative research with a realistic ethnographic action research design. This study explores aspects of the written and lived curriculum that align or clash with the practices of the community served by a public ethno-educational institution in Colombia. It is based on cultural diversity, ethnic education, intercultural education, and intercultural curriculum. This realistic ethnographic action research comprises several moments. We report on the Exploration moment built with the educational community, sabedores, and leaders. The results highlight the potential of community school practices to align the curriculum, that ethno-educational pedagogical experiences and classroom projects clash with the general pedagogical model. Community school practices' role in constructing an intercultural and multilingual curriculum is emphasized.
